summary
Claim: the internet wasn’t built for today’s apps, automation isn’t enough, and the world needs roughly 3 million more security pros; 70% of defenders report overload. Concrete responses include proactive outreach recruiting, published role levels and KPIs, and building psychological safety through ritualized value-setting (the offsite circle and documented values). Individual remedies tested: CBT reframes, meditation, weekly therapy, medication, and explicit leader behavior — hiring and retention tactics that scale as the company grows from 8 to 92 people.
